Chapter 20 Is This Mysterious Man Wolong Reincarnated?
Li Jing naturally noticed Du Ruhui's gaze.
There seem to be some conjectures in my mind.
But not sure at all.
Just before the thought has time to become clear,
Li Er suddenly took out an exquisite, gorgeous and noble sword from his arms and pulled it out half a foot.
Then he raised Li Jing's sword and slashed down half of the blade.
Zheng!
A clear metallic cry.
The gap in Li Jing's sword reached almost half of the width of the blade, and it was almost severed.
And Li Er’s sword? It’s not damaged at all!
"Pharmacist, did you see it? I'm sorry for breaking your sword today."
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? A good sword will serve the Lord. But this..."
Li Jing looked at the gorgeous sword half a foot out of its scabbard in Li's hand in surprise.
"The iron of this sword is so hard. Could it be that this sword..."
"...Is it made using the forging method that His Majesty mentioned?"
Li Jing raised his head and looked at Li Er.
At the same time, Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Er very seriously.
I thought, if the iron forging method mentioned by His Majesty could produce such a good sword, it would be very rare.
but……
The next moment, Li Er burst out laughing.
With a wave of his hand, he drew out the sword in his arms——
The sword light flashed.
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling were both stunned.
It's not that I was frightened by the sword light and felt nervous, but because...
This is actually a broken sword!
…
"Your Majesty, what is going on?"
"what happened?"
Li Er chuckled.
"What else could be going on? Just because of this broken sword, I almost killed Duan Lun from the engineering department."
"This broken sword was cut off by an ordinary hunting knife!"
…
As soon as Li Er finished speaking, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing were dumbfounded.
That's awesome, are you kidding me?
This sword is obviously made of fine iron, and it was clearly a gash from the sword he had been carrying for many years just now.
result……
Cut off by an ordinary hunting knife???
"Your Majesty, this...is this true?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Li Er smiled, "Then I have to apologize again. This is indeed true, and it happened in front of me and in front of me!"
Although people are coming and going on the streets of Chang'an at this moment, and the sounds of shops and vendors are constantly hawking.
But the air seemed to become extremely quiet.
Li Jing swallowed directly.
"If this is the case, then... the matter of forging new weapons is not non-negotiable..."
Fang Xuanling's entire mind went blank.
This method of forging iron...was also given by an expert?
Who is so powerful?
Your Majesty... met a god???
…
The reactions of Fang Xuanling and Li Jing were not beyond Li Er's expectations.
I knew you two had such expressions!
However, Li Er still frowned and sighed softly, "But you are right, this matter really cannot be rushed... Now every household has to serve in the army. Although the people's enthusiasm to fight against the Turks is strong, life is also getting better.
It’s not easy.”
"Although this forging method is powerful, it requires a lot of processes, consumes various materials, and needs to build a new furnace. Everything is spent, and the money is not a small amount."
"Let's change to Longwu Camp with 500 people first."
"five hundred……"
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing looked at each other at the same time, feeling a little surprised.
Your Majesty wants to get new weapons and armor so much... In fact, even they want to get it too.
The military power of the Tang Dynasty must have reached a higher level and could overwhelm the Turks!
But His Majesty actually endured it and only replaced 500 people. Moreover, Longwu Camp is about to head to the north and will be stationed on the front line to fight against the Turks. In other words, even with the new armament, His Majesty is still addicted to it.
Not a few times.
Thinking that Li Er had always cared about people's livelihood, everyone felt a little emotional.
But I also have a new understanding of armaments, and this matter is indeed a waste of money.
Only Du Ruhui was a little lost in thought.
He vaguely remembered that His Highness seemed to have said that day... This method of forging iron was just a small skill. Real top-grade steel was not only made of much better material than his hunting knife, but was also very cheap.
…
However, Du Ruhui knew that Li Jing would not believe him if he told Fang Xuanling about this. Moreover, His Highness had not come to Chang'an yet, so it was just empty talk.
But I'm still a little fascinated...
If the best iron forging method mentioned by His Highness comes out, then the military power of the Tang Dynasty will usher in a leap forward.
…
"Your Majesty, who is this master? With such a great talent, why don't you reward him and invite him to serve as an official in the court?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if people like this can be used by Your Majesty, the development of the Tang Dynasty will be rapid. If they follow thieves like the Turks, wouldn't it be a big trouble?"
"If this person is willing to become an official in the court, I would like to worship him as my disciple!"
Fang Xuanling's eyes shone.
This man is simply comparable to Gui Gu, a great sage of his generation.
But when Li Er heard what he said, he burst into laughter.
Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing.
"This... Your Majesty, Keming, why are you laughing?"
"Um... Brother Xuanling, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that the master your Majesty met is only sixteen years old!"
Fang Xuanling was instantly stunned.
Are you kidding? Such a powerful method of forging iron and raising pigs.
These are all Kuang Shiji's miraculous arts. You mastered them at the age of sixteen?
“Incredible!”
"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable... Nowadays, we know how big the world is and how talented it is. I'm still trying to stop my brother-in-law. I've lived in vain for the past few decades!"
…
The day's affairs were quickly completed, and Li Er naturally returned to the palace to see the memorial.
However, after the morning court, Fang Xuanling still felt uneasy.
He was simply too curious about this mysterious young man who looked like a god behind His Majesty.
This man is as talented as Zhou Yu and Zhuge Zhuge.
However, Zhou Yu and Zhuge were not that powerful when they were sixteen years old, right?
As a quiet person, Fang Xuanling naturally saw that Du Ruhui knew something inside.
Of course, he also knew that Du Ruhui was probably under a gag order, but there was no problem in using one phrase.
So that afternoon, Du Ruhui was invited to the mansion by Fang Xuanling.
There was also Li Jing who was also curious and came over after hearing the news, and Wei Zheng who noticed that Mao Ni was following him.
We all work as a team, and if there is a situation around His Majesty, we will naturally come together to discuss it.
"Keming, just tell us, who is this master?"
"Let me guess, it's Lao Wei?"
Li Jing said, looking suspiciously at Wei Zheng aside.
His guess was not unreasonable. After all, Wei Zheng was born in Taoism and knew a little bit about all fields.
However, after listening to the three people's stories, Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You think so highly of Wei. If I had known about this miraculous trick and dedicated it to His Majesty as early as Wagang, why would I have waited until today?"
"this……"
"Then... let me guess again, Ke Ming, what does this person think about his strategy?"
Fang Xuanling asked about this mysterious master's level as an ordinary scholar.
Du Ruhui took a breath and said slowly,
"This person's profound knowledge, meticulous thinking, and noble moral character are far superior to those of you and me."
"Hiss..." The three of them were shocked. Could it be that Guigu Wolong was really reincarnated?
"You don't have to make blind guesses. Anyway, you can get to know this person in ten months or at most in a year or two."
"The top priority, I suggest you think about another thing. Recently, people have written articles everywhere calling for the restoration of the nine-level Zhongzheng system and preventing children from poor families from entering the court. I think it must have been done by literati from aristocratic families. Your Majesty is very annoyed. Do you have any good ideas?
